Yeah thats normal. But it can be normal as preg. symptoms as well.  If you are going to test I would buy one tonight and take it tomorrow morning. If it comes back negative then I would just wait till Tuesday. Good luck!!

I have had similar symptoms.... actually, I had "pms" symptoms i.e. headaches/migraines, a poss stomache flu (morning sickness?) slight cramping for 10 days before "bleeding" on one side especially....

And 5 days before AF due I had 1 day of moderate watery bright discharge, followed by a light spotty day; then none..maybe if I wiped.

A 3 day period?

-could this be "implantation"?...

Hmmm, well, I a still having my headaches and nausea a good 2 weeks after initial signs.

Keep me posted!

Babynine- I too had implantation bleeding. Mine was about 2 days after I got my BFP. It was brown and just happened the one time when I wiped and that is it. I also had cramping from about 6dpo until I got my BFP at 10dpo. Go test though! It really sounds like you are pregnant!!

babynine-i had implant bleeding and didn't get a positive till 5 days after implant.  i read that it usually takes 2-5 days after implant to have enough hcg to get a positive...so, if you get a neg, don't be discouraged!  wait, and try again!  

lidalbit-i usually cramp a day before my period.  one of my first clues that i was pregnant is that i started cramping about 6 days before my period was due.  

good luck girls!  let us know what happened!!!

I got my first positive pregnancy test 11 dpo.  I used the ones from the dollar store.  They were cheap and accurate, and of course I didn't believe the first one so I took four more!!!!!!!!

I want to go up the dollar store so bad and get a test. It's right here by the house...but I don't want a BFN...LOL. Yea I've never cramped like this before AF. I always cramp the day of. So that's why I'm thinkin with the sore boobs, headaches, nausea and all that this could possible be the month...ok I'll send the hubby to the store...hehe ;)

OK I told him to buy two. So that's what I'll do. I'll hold it until I can't hold it no more and test tonight.....then if that fails. I might either do it again in the morning or wait till tues....(AF due)

well, your period is due in 3 days, tues, right?...it may or may not be too soon so it's up to you!  if you are anything like me, you won't be able to wait so test tonight.  then, if neg, don't sweat it too much...test first peepee tomorrow morning.  you may want to go get another few tests because if you are neg in am, you will probably want to test again the next day.  or, maybe you will get a faint line and then want to test again later in the day to see if it darkens (that it was happened to me!!).  i peed on a lot of sticks!  baby dust to you!!!!

Okay, so I am nauseas and nervous...
I got a 2 pack EPT, so I am forcing myself to wait until tomorrow morning at the very earliest!

I think I have come to grips with the fact the three day mini bleed fest was def. not AF.

at 23 into cycle- and the way it was, tooo strange.

I'm trying to check old receipts now to find the precise date of last AF (shopping is a sign... lolxx)

But I feel like I don't need any verification, in a way.

Weird.

Watch me be BFN! LOLxx

So, if this was a type of AF, I wonder why I still have a bloated and lightly twingy/crampy feel.

That "light pulling" from center and left that I have heard others describe...

-So, I guess  all of us are in a very very similar situation.

Who ever knew that migraines would be a sign!
